Abstract:
Affixing a scalp dressing is challenging because of the presence of hair. Many methods have been recommended; their limitations include their effect on aesthetics and discomfort to the patient during the procedure. We describe a method for using hairpins to affix a dressing after scalp surgery or trauma that is sturdy, does not compromise aesthetics, and does not cause additional discomfort.
